Abstract Thursday…

My knees seem to have aged another 10 years overnight so a very quick trip to town to top up my fruit and grab a blip. At least I could si in my armchair with my feet up to abstract these musicians a bit in Brushstroke.

My saying of the day is ‘get out of bed on the wrong side’.

Idiom Land — Idiom of the day: Get out of bed on the wrong...
The saying "get out of bed on the wrong side" originates from an ancient Roman superstition. Romans believed it was bad luck to get out of bed on the left side, associating the left side with negative forces or evil spirits. This belief led to the phrase being used to describe someone who is in a bad mood or having a difficult day, as if they had been affected by this bad luck.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Roman Superstition:
The Romans, known for their superstitions, believed that the right side was associated with good luck and positive influences, while the left side was linked to bad luck and negative forces, according to Ginger Software.
Avoiding Bad Luck:
To avoid attracting bad luck, Romans were careful to exit their beds on the right side. Getting up on the left side was believed to bring misfortune and a bad day.
Modern Usage:
While the superstition is no longer widely held, the phrase "get out of bed on the wrong side" remains in use to describe someone who is grumpy, irritable, or having a generally negative start to their day.
